Hardware warranty
Included with all hardware purchases, Barracuda’s hardware warranty guarantees that up to one year from delivery, your hardware will be free from defects in materials and workmanship.
Instant Replacement
One hundred percent uptime is important in corporate environments, but sometimes equipment can fail. In the rare case that a Barracuda product fails, Barracuda ships a replacement unit on the same or next business day. And by means of the Hardware Refresh program, we ensure that customers benefit from the latest hardware improvements and firmware capabilities.
